  • Patent number: 8737649
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bone conduction device for enhancing a recipient's hearing. The device may include an input configured to receive sound signals and generate a plurality of signals representative of the sound signals, an electronics module configured to receive the plurality of signals and having a first control setting configured to control a first characteristic of at least one of the plurality of signals and a second control setting configured to control a second characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of signals, a vibrator configured to receive the plurality of signals representative of the sound signals and transmit vibrations to the recipient's bone, and a user interface having a first interface control configured to interface with the first control setting and alter the first characteristic and a second interface control configured to interface with the second control setting and alter the second characteristic.

  • Publication number: 20070159598
    Abstract: A device for mapping the visual field of an eye includes a projector for creating a light beam of visible light, a first light directing element for controlling the direction of the beam, and a reflection element for reflecting the light beam through a predetermined crossing point. The elements are arranged in such a way so that the light beam can be directed to well defined sites of the retina of the eye when positioned with the center of its lens substantially in the crossing point. The projector can be made to include a focusing element and a beam cross-section forming element for creating a disk of predetermined size on the retina of the eye.
